ABIT AN8 Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard
2 Gigs of Patriot Signature Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200)

in a

Sky Hawk/Eagle Tech PSR5601W-SL ATXALUMGT Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

running on a ASPIRE ATX-AS520W BLACK ATX 520W Power Supply

I am at 2.3 ghz now easily on air. I have a butt load of fans inside the case and I never peak past 35 degrees C.

Just wondering how much more I can go and what others have achieved on this same CPU. Thanks!!

I am running

AMD 3800 X@ manchester at 2400mhz on stock HSF. I have 1gb of Corsair Value Select running on a mem divider so its at 200mhz. My fsb is close enough to 2000mhz. I orderd the stock AMD heatpipe HSF and hopefully will bring my load temp from 52C to around 45C. I'm assuming 35 C is idle temp? You can probably go as high as me if you attempted. I'm going to try and get 2.6ghz once I get my HSF and stop there.
